So, I know this is all guesstimation, but I'd be happy with a guesstimate from someone more familiar with the rates and disney cruises since this is my first.
Should a MTO rate come out for the 10/15 western caribbean on the fantasy, is there a certain time frame I should be expecting it? early August, end of August, September? At what point should I be confident one won't come out and book a GTY or something? I'm willing to wait but just curious.
Then, what ballpark figure do you think I'd be expecting for a verandah room with 2 adults ? The recent MTO for 8/27 has made me excited. Any chance the 10/15 may also start with a 2? Is mid October more expensive than late August generally?
If anyone can help answer some of my burning questions it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!!
The earliest I would expect the MTO rate to come out for a mid-October cruise would be mid-August. One year, I was waiting on a late November discount. It didn't come out until around the 30 day mark. I would think that once you get inside of 30 days, it probably won't happen, especially if you see other dates popping up that are later than your date.
I went back in the thread to look for past October, Fantasy rates. These rates for 2015 came out in mid to late August.
